CONTACT DCG-SMS info@dcg-sms.com Effective IT-business alignment.In the context of IT, “value” can mean different things to different business stakeholders. This makes aligning IT processes with the delivery of business value a complex matter. Lean systems thinking requires an in-depth understanding of the end-to-end network of processes required to design, develop, produce and maintain the application portfolio. The Insight team can provide the investigative and analysis know-how the CIO needs to get a complete picture of the IT value stream. In a perfect process alignment, work flows continuously, piece-by-piece. New developments are brought on-stream “just-in-time” without excessive stock-piling. Compare this to the track-record of the IT project and it is clear how far the profession has to go. The Rightshifting data shows us that 80% of organisations currently waste up to 80% of investment in technology-intensive systems. So the scope for improvement is undoubtedly significant – but when all you can see is the mountain you have to climb, it’s difficult to know how to get to the top. Especially when value means different things to different business stakeholders. DCG-SMS Effectiveness Coaches provide the catalyst that inspires you to think creatively. Measurement Specialists offer guidance on setting business goals and establishing effective measurement practice. Change Specialists will help you create a roadmap, build a business case and win stakeholder commitment. Governance Specialists provide oversight and audit. Process Performance Specialists provide gap analysis, assessments, coaching, training, and improvement team mentoring. The Rightshifting data also shows us how few people have experience of working in highly effective systems. DCG-SMS has been studying examples of effective software-intensive systems for more than a decade. So if you’re looking for guidance on how to be more effective, ask someone who knows.
